DISCUSSING the death of a distinguished editor in New York
last week a columnist of the
Broadway gossip type remarked that
"No one who has ever known cily
looms and news and reporters can
really take much interest in apples or
apple trees."
His statement helps 'to sustain the I
adage that all generalizations are |
_ false. The writer of Told Without !
j Varnish, in his somewhat protracted j
I career, has known several city edi- i j
i tors of the thoroughly hard-boiled | Thc report which Bliss Cooper, lhe I

Right now the young men in the
league are out in the open getting
into shape for practice games on
April 27 and April 30.
The regular schedule starts on May
4. John McLean, president of the
league, will hold several meetings between now and the opening to clear up
rules and other things that will help
in governing the league,, such as umpire, ground rules, equipment, style
of ball, etc.
No doubt Glenn Schiltz, Jr.'s Reformed Church team will battle
against Bob Swope's Christians on
April 27 and Cletus Moledor's huskies will tangle with some good team
on Friday, April 30.
Tlie X-club team is now ready for
games with Junior teanis of this vicinity. Call the Community Building,

Softball Diamonds
Feeling there will be a need for
more Softball diamonds this year, the
Community Building is leveling off
and putting into shape two full-sized
diamonds on the football ground for
use this season. This with two in Wit-

number of teams in the games this
season.
Organize Tennis Club
Tennis courts will be in shape for
play within another, week for those (next moment a wedding, now a scan-
who care to get an early start. The ' dal and now an idyll, now watchin
paper city room are by no means incompatible with bucolic tastes on the
part of the men in them.
One of the most intensely concentrated of city editors that this writer
ever knew, on a certain New York
paper, was in his hours off duty a
cultivator of prize onions in New
Jersey. That state contains many
men engaged in journalism in New
York city and Philadelphia and hundreds of them prefer the shade of the
old apple tree to a night club. As a
matter of truth, very few newspaper
men go to night clubs of their own
free will. They consider it beneath
their dignity to be seen in such places,
and then the old crack heard in news
rooms, "So he's become a member of
the Sucker Brigade and spends his
pennies in night clubs?" has stayed
the feet of many young reporters.
V •£ •£
THE celebrated SeJah M. Clarke,
long renowned as night editor of
the old New York Sun, died about
six years ago while sitting under an
apple tree in his Canandaigu orchard.
And he knew more about "Little Old
New York" than the Broadway gossip columnists will ever know.
Dealing in contrasts all his life—
now under his hand a tragedy and the
th Can
books,
periodicals, pamphlets and pictures
were circulated during the month of
March.
Teachers are taking advantage of
the collection of pictures at the library to obtain the loan of groups of
pictures to illustrate the subject being studied. In March the largest call
was for pictures of Indians.
Students Show Talent
There were forty pupils from the
grade schools who entered the contest
for the reproduction of pictures in the
art display at the library and thirty-
two completed their work. This week
the pupils from the high school are
working and next week the reproductions will be mounted, placed on display and the winners announced.
Many of the students show marked
talent.

this is one of the biggest things done

Harry C. Herman Will Tell What He

To
its
a yacht race or a boxing match, now
investigating tong warfare in the hidden gloom of a Chinese slum—the
man on the staff of a big daily becomes a connoisseur of contrasts, and
often loves to introduce them into his
own life. For his holiday, he probably goes window shopping, but he always winds up under the shade of the
old apple tree. Above all, he likes j
solitude—for a while.
In his active years the passion for
the hullaballoo of the city news room
may return. For a month he may be
Jiappy among the noise and bustle.
But when his. work is over he prefers
a few congenial friends and in a place
far, far from the noisy crowd. That
is why he favors the old apple tree.

hazel richards
Miss Hazel Richards, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Art Richards of North
Canton, finished the season for North
Canton Dairies iii Class A Bowling-
league with an average of 179 for 72
games. She played against the best
Canton had to offer.
So frequently has Hazel "been
crowned Queen of the Bowlers that
it is becoming monotonous, so The
Sun takes the liberty of raising her
title. From now on she is "The
Empress."
Lord Beaconsfield made Queen Victoria Empress of India, and Benito
Mussolini created King Humbert Emperor of Ethiopia (Abyssinia). So
The Sun feels it is on safe ground in
raising the titles of royalty.
ARE MAKING GOOD
Residents of North Canton Active In
College Life At Hiram.
Special to The Sun
Hiram, Ohio, April 21—Miss Lillian
Shook, Richard Hurlburt, and Karl
and Preston Kidder, all of North Canton,- are singing with the A Cappella
Choir of Hiram college on its eastern

The choir, which has achieved a
reputation among college musical organizations, is composed of forty-four
men and girls performing under the
direction of George R. Howerton. It
appeared in Erie, Pa., under the sponsorship of the Erie Day School on
April 12; at the Eastern Music Educators' Conference in the Hotel Stat-
ler, Buffalo, on Thursday afternoon,
April 15, and at a Buffalo high school
the following morning.
Other cocnerts were given in Albion, N. Y., on Friday evening at the
Presbyterian church, and at the East
Aurora high school on Saturday evening, sponsored by the East Aurora
high school glee club. The tour ended
with a concert in the Willard Straight
hall of Cornell university in Ithaca,
N. Y., on Sunday afternoon, April IS.
All four of the North Canton students are active in the social and academic life at Hiram. Miss Shook, who
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
L. Shook, 334 E. Maple, has been
elected president of the central board,
women's self-government organization.
Richard Hurlburt, son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Hurlburt, 218 Hower
street, also sings in the men's glee
club for which he is business manager.
Preston Kidder, son of Mr. 0. P.
Kidder, 507 McKinley street, has been
active in school publications. His
brother Karl entered Hiram as a
freshman this year.

Style Show and Industrial
Interest Parents.
The response made to the home economics and industrial arts demonstration and exhibit on Friday, April l(i,
was very encouraging. Quite a number of parents visited the classes in
the afternoon. There was a style
show put on by the home economics
girls. These parents were served tea
by the home economics girls following the modeling of the dresses they
had made.
In the evening while no classes
j were in session the style show was
' well attended by one hundred twenty-
i five or one hundred fifty parents and
! friends.
i The boys at their industrial arts ex-
i hibits reported that they had between
i one hundred-twenty-five and one hundred forty parents and friends who
', were in to see the work. For both ex-
. hibits there were people from out of
town who were interested in home
economics and industrial arts work
■ who were present. The school is very
; much gratified at the interest shown
in this work.

DISCUSSING the death of a distinguished editor in New York
last week a columnist of the
Broadway gossip type remarked that
"No one who has ever known cily
looms and news and reporters can
really take much interest in apples or
apple trees."
His statement helps 'to sustain the I
adage that all generalizations are |
_ false. The writer of Told Without !
j Varnish, in his somewhat protracted j
I career, has known several city edi- i j
i tors of the thoroughly hard-boiled | Thc report which Bliss Cooper, lhe I

Right now the young men in the
league are out in the open getting
into shape for practice games on
April 27 and April 30.
The regular schedule starts on May
4. John McLean, president of the
league, will hold several meetings between now and the opening to clear up
rules and other things that will help
in governing the league,, such as umpire, ground rules, equipment, style
of ball, etc.
No doubt Glenn Schiltz, Jr.'s Reformed Church team will battle
against Bob Swope's Christians on
April 27 and Cletus Moledor's huskies will tangle with some good team
on Friday, April 30.
Tlie X-club team is now ready for

Softball Diamonds
Feeling there will be a need for
more Softball diamonds this year, the
Community Building is leveling off
and putting into shape two full-sized
diamonds on the football ground for
use this season. This with two in Wit-

number of teams in the games this
season.
Organize Tennis Club
Tennis courts will be in shape for
play within another, week for those (next moment a wedding, now a scan-
who care to get an early start. The ' dal and now an idyll, now watchin
paper city room are by no means incompatible with bucolic tastes on the
part of the men in them.
One of the most intensely concentrated of city editors that this writer
ever knew, on a certain New York
paper, was in his hours off duty a
cultivator of prize onions in New
Jersey. That state contains many
men engaged in journalism in New
York city and Philadelphia and hundreds of them prefer the shade of the
old apple tree to a night club. As a
matter of truth, very few newspaper
men go to night clubs of their own
free will. They consider it beneath
their dignity to be seen in such places,
and then the old crack heard in news
rooms, "So he's become a member of
the Sucker Brigade and spends his
pennies in night clubs?" has stayed
the feet of many young reporters.
V •£ •£
THE celebrated SeJah M. Clarke,
long renowned as night editor of
the old New York Sun, died about
six years ago while sitting under an
apple tree in his Canandaigu orchard.
And he knew more about "Little Old
New York" than the Broadway gossip columnists will ever know.
Dealing in contrasts all his life—
now under his hand a tragedy and the
th Can
books,
periodicals, pamphlets and pictures
were circulated during the month of
March.
Teachers are taking advantage of
the collection of pictures at the library to obtain the loan of groups of
pictures to illustrate the subject being studied. In March the largest call
was for pictures of Indians.
Students Show Talent
There were forty pupils from the
grade schools who entered the contest
for the reproduction of pictures in the
art display at the library and thirty-
two completed their work. This week
the pupils from the high school are
working and next week the reproductions will be mounted, placed on display and the winners announced.
Many of the students show marked
talent.

HE SPMSTpIGHT
Harry C. Herman Will Tell What He
Saw In India.
To
its
a yacht race or a boxing match, now
investigating tong warfare in the hidden gloom of a Chinese slum—the
man on the staff of a big daily becomes a connoisseur of contrasts, and
often loves to introduce them into his
own life. For his holiday, he probably goes window shopping, but he always winds up under the shade of the
old apple tree. Above all, he likes j
solitude—for a while.
In his active years the passion for
the hullaballoo of the city news room
may return. For a month he may be
Jiappy among the noise and bustle.
But when his. work is over he prefers
a few congenial friends and in a place
far, far from the noisy crowd. That
is why he favors the old apple tree.

hazel richards
Miss Hazel Richards, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Art Richards of North
Canton, finished the season for North
Canton Dairies iii Class A Bowling-
league with an average of 179 for 72
games. She played against the best
Canton had to offer.
So frequently has Hazel "been
crowned Queen of the Bowlers that
it is becoming monotonous, so The
Sun takes the liberty of raising her
title. From now on she is "The
Empress."
Lord Beaconsfield made Queen Victoria Empress of India, and Benito
Mussolini created King Humbert Emperor of Ethiopia (Abyssinia). So
The Sun feels it is on safe ground in
raising the titles of royalty.
ARE MAKING GOOD
Residents of North Canton Active In
College Life At Hiram.
Special to The Sun
Hiram, Ohio, April 21—Miss Lillian
Shook, Richard Hurlburt, and Karl
and Preston Kidder, all of North Canton,- are singing with the A Cappella

ler, Buffalo, on Thursday afternoon,
April 15, and at a Buffalo high school
the following morning.
Other cocnerts were given in Albion, N. Y., on Friday evening at the
Presbyterian church, and at the East
Aurora high school on Saturday evening, sponsored by the East Aurora
high school glee club. The tour ended
with a concert in the Willard Straight
hall of Cornell university in Ithaca,
N. Y., on Sunday afternoon, April IS.
All four of the North Canton students are active in the social and academic life at Hiram. Miss Shook, who
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
L. Shook, 334 E. Maple, has been
elected president of the central board,
women's self-government organization.
Richard Hurlburt, son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Hurlburt, 218 Hower
street, also sings in the men's glee
club for which he is business manager.
Preston Kidder, son of Mr. 0. P.
Kidder, 507 McKinley street, has been
active in school publications. His
brother Karl entered Hiram as a
freshman this year.
